Now Waffles and Pancakes, along with their owners, are about to learn another lesson, A Lesson in the True Meaning of Christmas. When Hurricane Sandy threatens to ruin Christmas, Danny, Griffin, Waffles, and Pancakes gather their friends and try to find a way to help. Together can they find a way to save Christmas? When Santa sees their act of kindness, what does he do to surprise them all? Find out when you read this heartwarming story of friendship and love.

I read this too A and K and I felt that the lesson within the story was a very important one for them know. Christmas is not just about presents it is about giving to others. Within this story a group of friends and their neighborhood are affected by Hurricane Sandy. Some kids may not get a Christmas so this group of friends decide to do something about it. When Santa sees their kindness he does something special for them.

This is a good book to read around the holidays because it feels you with warmth to read about others doing good things for others.
